About this property
A/C, Hot Tub, Back Patio, Modern Retreat!
The best of Colorado awaits at Camp Middle Bear. Nestled beneath tall pines and complete with your own private hot tub, this is the perfect mountain getaway for connection with family and friends. And did we mention the location? This newly-remodeled, AIR CONDITIONED, 3-bedroom/2-bath home is located in the gorgeous Animas Valley, just 20 minutes north of Historic Downtown Durango and 15 minutes south of Purgatory Ski Resort. Its central location ensures you'll have easy access to all the great offerings in the surrounding area for a memorable Durango mountain vacation.
Durango's stunning red cliffs serve as the idyllic backdrop to this professionally-designed home. Step inside to an open floor plan and a spacious dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows where you'll want to gather for a good meal, board games, and views of the abundant wildlife. Or maybe you'll opt to relax in one of the window seats in the living room. With over 300 days of sunshine annually in Durango, it's always a good time to grab a book and settle in.
The gourmet kitchen is sure to captivate your inner-chef with its soapstone countertops and modern finishes, all stocked to a budding chef's delight. The main floor also offers a private bedroom with a queen bed and an adjacent, full bathroom. The two additional private bedrooms are located on the second floor. One room, with a queen bed and the second with a bunk bed.
Need another place to rest your head after a long day playing in the mountains? Feel free to use the cabinet bed in the loft that easily converts into a queen bed. You'll feel like you're camping indoors as you gaze up through the skylight to the starry Colorado skies above. The loft also serves as a great bonus area for kids or other guests to enjoy their own space. Lastly, a thoughtfully-designed downstairs laundry room with a cozy desk area offers a quiet spot for conference calls–or to settle in and write the next great American novel.
We hope you'll make Camp Middle Bear the centerpiece of your next vacation. You're sure to leave with indelible memories.
